This time Cao Cao knew that he was looking down on Lu Bu. Fortunately, Xiahou Dun was only slightly injured and would recover after a period of time. He also didn't lose much troops and horses, and he ran very fast.
After arranging his troops and horses, Cao Cao took the eight princes and went to Yuan Shao to discuss dealing with Lu Bu.
Coincidentally, all the other princes were there, except Sun Jian, who was sent by Yuan Shao to attack Sishui Pass again. Yuan Shu had prepared food and grass and sponsored 3,000 troops early, which was a kind of compensation for Sun Jian. Sun Jian happily accepted the order and left.
It must not be good news to see Cao Cao and other princes returning in disgrace and embarrassment.
Yuan Shu asked, "Why are you Mengde back? Didn't you go to fight Dong Zhuo?".
Cao Cao picked up the wine and took a sip before saying, "Don't mention it, we came back in a huge defeat. Not to mention the loss of troops and generals, we almost couldn't come back."
Oh, I must have met Lu Bu, Yuan Shao thought to himself.
He invited everyone to drink to calm down their shock, and then said, "You are so defeated, you must have met a master."
Wang Kuang was still frightened and said, "Forget it, Lu Bu is really cruel. I almost gave up my life."
Lu Bu was so powerful that the other princes all looked inquiring.
So Cao Cao told him everything about how cruel Lu Bu was and how he defeated the coalition of princes.
After speaking, he sighed, "Lü Bu is brave and invincible. We can gather the eighteen princes to come up with a good strategy. If Lü Bu is captured, Dong Zhuo will easily kill him."
The princes are still relatively convinced of Cao Cao. Seeing what he said, Lu Bu must be really powerful. Everyone was talking a lot, thinking about how to get rid of this guy so that Dong Zhuo could be destroyed as soon as possible.
Of course Yuan Shao knew how powerful Lu Bu was, he was the number one general in the Three Kingdoms. Now among the coalition of princes, only Zhao Yun can barely draw a tie with him, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu can also retreat intact, and the others are just cannon fodder. Of course, you can't say this out loud, and they won't believe it if you say it.
Yuan Shao interrupted everyone's discussion and said decisively, "Tomorrow, the eighteen princes will dispatch together and gather under Hulao Pass to fight Dong Zhuo to the death."
"Take orders"
"Take orders"
"Take orders"
All the princes, whether they were scared or a little cowed, all stood up together and promised in unison that the decisive battle was coming.
Someone had already reported the news to Dong Zhuo. When Dong Zhuo knew it, he kicked away the beautiful woman who had just been robbed from sleeping on him, got up quickly, and ordered the Xiliang generals to be summoned to discuss countermeasures.
The guards took the order and left. After a while, all the Xiliang generals arrived, followed by Li Ru.
Seeing that his adviser had arrived, Dong Zhuo said anxiously, "Wen You, there is news that the princes of the Eighteenth Route are preparing to fight to the death with me tomorrow. What do you think we should do?"
Li Ru confidently said, "My lord, don't worry. Ru said that the princes outside the pass are just a mob. I have just confirmed it with Lu Bu. They have just been defeated. No one is Lu Bu's opponent. My lord, you can rest assured. Tomorrow, we can definitely wipe out all ten of them in a battle." The princes of the Eight Routes, with this Lord, great things can be accomplished."
Seeing that his think tank looked confident of victory, Dong Zhuo immediately felt relieved.
"Haha, good, good, good," Dong Zhuo smiled unscrupulously.
This made all the generals of Xiliang burst into laughter and geared up to prepare for a big fight.
Morale is available. Li Ru indicated with his eyes that Dong Zhuo could give the order.
Dong Zhuo understood and ordered: "Tomorrow morning, mobilize 350,000 troops to fight the princes of Guandong to the death, and the world will be determined in one battle."
It should be explained here that it turned out that Dong Zhuo led an army of 250,000 to Hulao. Seeing the power of the princes, he was also a little afraid of death, so he asked Xu Rong to lead an army of 100,000 Xiliang troops to come over to respond. Xu Rong had already arrived.
"promise"
"promise"
"promise"
The generals took the order and went down to prepare. The war was about to break out.
Hulao Pass was named after King Mu of Zhou Dynasty hunted a tiger here, hence the name.
Since the Han Dynasty, it has been repaired many times as a barrier to Luoyang. It can be said to be impregnable and is known as the most powerful pass in the world.
After Dong Zhuo learned about the alliance between the princes, he sent people to strengthen the city walls, thicken the city gates, and dig deep the moat. Everything was ready, except for the east wind.
The allied forces of the princes, 200,000 to 300,000, lined up in front of this great pass in the world, forming a black and overwhelming force.
Yuan Shao and other princes, surrounded by their generals, rode to the front of the camp. They were all fully armed and staring straight ahead in anticipation. The flags beside them were fluttering in the wind, and the characters "Yuan", "Cao", "Gongsun" and "Liu" on the banner were particularly conspicuous.
After a while, the gate of Hulao Pass opened. Under the call of the flag with the word "Dong", the Xiliang army filed out, and not to be outdone, they also formed a formation.
Dong Zhuo, protected by generals such as Lu Bu and Xu Rong, came to Yuan Shao.
Seeing many old acquaintances, such as the Yuan brothers, Cao Cao, etc., Dong Zhuo became angry instantly.
He shouted from the air, "Yuan Shao, you dare to commit rebellion. What crime should you be punished for? If you plead guilty on the spot, I can avoid death."
Yuan Shao laughed and said, "Dong Zhuo, old thief, you bullied the royal family and committed adultery in the harem. You are guilty of atrocities. Shao and others were greatly favored by the Han Dynasty, and they blamed the people for their crimes. What crime did you commit? Today is the day to die, so let's wait for your neck to be cut."
This was very relieving and morale-boosting, and the coalition troops cheered for a while.
Damn it, Dong Zhuo screamed angrily, and Lu Bu couldn't help but stand up. He couldn't bear to see Yuan Shao being so proud, and he wanted to vent his anger on his adoptive father so as to win his joy.
First, he rode a red rabbit horse and held Fang Tian's painted halberd. He showed off his power and shouted, "Jiuyuan Lu Bu is here, who dares to come and die?"
When all the princes saw that it was Lu Bu who challenged him, they instantly lost their temper. After all, his martial arts was not just a boast, it was real, and it was tested at the cost of blood.
"Who dares to come here and die?".
"Who dares to come here and die?".
"Who dares to come here and die?".
Lu Bu continued to show off his power for a while, but no one dared to come out, so they all looked like a turtle. This bearish behavior made Dong Zhuo laugh.
It was so arrogant that Zhang Fei couldn't help it at that time. He ran out of Gongsun Zan's camp and shouted loudly, "Slaves with three surnames, please don't be so arrogant. Grandpa Zhang Fei is here."
What, the three surnamed family slaves, grandpa, this is the name. As the saying goes, you should expose others but not their shortcomings, and you should not curse others with insults. When Zhang Fei was good, he occupied both places. Although he was angry, Lu Bu would not tolerate it.
Hearing this cry, Lu Bu was furious, flying his halberd, and killed Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei didn't show any weakness and rushed forward with a scream.
I saw the clash of spears and halberds, and the constant crackling of weapons. The battle lasted for thirty rounds, but the winner was still undecided.
The princes were sulking when they saw it. They didn't expect that this black-faced man was not only a loud voice, but also had some ability.
His name was Zhang Fei, right? They all told him to congratulate Gongsun Zan. Liu Bei was also very proud of himself.
Only Guan Yu frowned when he saw this, and he was not optimistic about Zhang Fei.
It was also the first time that Dong Zhuo saw someone who could stand with his adopted son until now. He couldn't help but become anxious, and wanted to withdraw his troops and recall Lu Bu.
Xu Rong was still experienced and had good vision. He said from the sidelines that this black-faced general would be defeated soon. Master, don’t worry.
Of course, he was not the only one with good vision. Zhao Yun, who was guarding Yuan Shao, also saw that Zhang Fei was a little weak.
Cao Cao was also very envious and said to Yuan Shao, "I don't want Liu Bei to have such a general, so Lu Bu will be defeated."
Not necessarily, Yuan Shao thought to himself, Zhang Fei should not be Lu Bu's opponent yet.
Zhao Yun interjected, "General Cao was wrong. It was Zhang Fei who lost. He was not Lu Bu's opponent."
What, no, you can't beat Lu Bu at all. Cao Cao didn't believe it and looked quickly. Sure enough, Zhang Fei was not strong enough and was out of breath. Depending on the situation, he was definitely defeated.
Lu Bu deserves to be the number one general in the Three Kingdoms. He is very experienced and knows that Zhang Fei is an explosive type and cannot last long. He is no match for him.
Thinking about it, Zhang Fei changed his moves and increased his strength. Zhang Fei was a little unable to resist and was about to be defeated.
Seeing this, Yuan Shao felt that the time was ripe and could not let the scene of the three heroes fighting Lu Bu happen, so he signaled to Zhao Yun that he could take action. Because before the battle, Yuan Shao made an explanation to Zhao Yun. Let him act according to his own wishes, and be ready to fight Lu Bu at any time.
Zhao Yun happily accepted the order, drew out his bow and arrow, drew it like a full moon, and shot Lu Bu's weapon with a chirp, neutralizing his killing move. Zhang Fei took advantage of this to escape from the battlefield, and Guan Yu picked him up. Come back.
A master, really a master. When Lu Bu heard the sound of bows and arrows, he hurriedly avoided it. Unexpectedly, he was able to break the killer move.
Seeing this, Lu Bu was a little excited and said, "Where is the master? Please tell me your name. Don't shoot cold arrows, but do you dare to come out and fight to the death?"
Zhao Yun was also unambiguous, and he rode out with a gun in hand, "Zhao Zilong from Changshan, come to learn from me."
As they spoke, they started fighting together, and saw silver spears and painted halberds flying, and the clanging sound resounded throughout the field.
Yuan Shao ordered the drums to be beaten to cheer for Zhao Yun. Wen Chou got up, naked and stepped forward to beat the drums hard. For a time, the sound of the drums shook the sky and shook the battlefield.
The two fought each other for a hundred rounds, and there was still no winner. They saw the formation of cold spears and the waves of halberds, which stunned the soldiers on the battlefield.
Sure enough, there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky. The other generals who were watching, such as Guan Yu, Xia Houyuan, Yan Liang, etc., knew the gap between themselves and Lu Bu Zhao Yun. They secretly swore in their hearts that they would definitely compete with them if they had the chance. They also recognized Lu Bu and Zhao Yun. status.
Seeing that Zhao Yun had been unable to win for a long time, he also knew that there was still a gap between himself and Lu Bu. He could not win without relying on his unique skills. Seeing that he had betrayed a flaw, he opened the distance between Lu Bu, turned his horse's head and ran towards the coalition forces, but he secretly held a gun, preparing to make a sneak attack and give Lu Bu a blow.
Lu Bu saw that Zhao Yun seemed to have lost his strength and was about to be defeated and run away. Without thinking much, he chased Chi Hare after him, and he caught up with him. Suddenly, Zhao Yun turned around and stabbed, turning his carbine back. Lu Bu was caught off guard, his purple gold crown was knocked off, his hair was disheveled, and his face was hurt a little. Thanks to Red Rabbit, he didn't fall off the horse.
He lost, he actually lost. Lu Bu couldn't believe that he would lose and let himself be humiliated in front of hundreds of thousands of people. He suddenly lost his mind and allowed Chitu to carry him back to his own formation.
Yuan Shao saw this and knew that the opportunity had come. He drew his sword and shouted, "Lü Bu is defeated, all the soldiers will follow me to kill him."
Seeing this, Zhang Liao and Zhang He took the lead and led their troops to kill the Xiliang army.
Not to be outdone, Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan and other princes' coalition forces rushed forward.
Seeing this, Zhao Yun also wanted to follow up and kill the enemy. Unfortunately, when he raised his arm, he found a bone-piercing pain. He could hardly lift the silver spear. As expected, the sequelae were very strong. His master did not lie.
Yuan Shao saw this and knew that he was out of strength, so he asked Yan Liang to take good care of him and go to rest. He led Wen Chou and rushed towards Dong Zhuo's army.
Seeing that Lu Bu was defeated, Dong Zhuo saw the allied forces of the princes rushing over before he could react. He turned his horse around and ran towards Hulao Pass without thinking, but Xu Rong had no time to stop him.
Seeing that their war god had been defeated and their lord had run away, the Xiliang army had no fighting spirit left. They all dropped their weapons and wished their parents had extra legs. They rushed towards the gate, losing all their strength and causing trampling. event.
Xu Rong killed dozens of people but couldn't stop drinking. He had no choice but to follow the large army back to the pass.
Gao Shun also protected the lost Lu Bu and led the Bingzhou army to escape back to Hulao Pass.
The allied forces of the princes followed up, and the Xiliang army was defeated and fought all the way to the city gate.
Seeing that bows, arrows and stones were raining down, the coalition forces could not advance before they returned. He turned around to congratulate Zhao Yun for his power, and also celebrated his victory.
